"The 2021 Barolo Le Coste Di Monforte is a similar deep ruby red color
and steps things up a notch with notes of toasted cedar, tobacco, dried cherries, leather, and balsamic herbs. The palate has fantastic purity and a compact and focused liqueur-like feel, with profound depth and the potential to improve with age. There’s a lot going on here, and the work of Diego and Stefano Conterno is really paying off in spades. Drink 2027-2057."

"The 2021 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is superb. Dark exotic and beguiling, the 2021 captures the essence of this Monforte site. Black cherry, licorice, leather, incense, coffee and dried herbs all open in the glass. This layered, dynamic Barolo is so appealing. lt's classic Monforte all the way. Drinking window: 2028-2041."

"Lustrous mid ruby. Finely perfumed nose that shows more depth than the Comune di Monforte of the same vintage and with a distinct earthy, minerally note and mace. Suave fruit that is not entirely open yet and fluid acidity carried by long, tactile, chewy tannins. A finely balanced whole. (WS)"
